I'm not really concerned about this change. The issue I have with Thief is that its pretty fragile - classic glass cannon. Stealthing up and blinding is fine but there's no way to block anything.

Blind is the ultimate block. Except against Dredge, who are worthless piece of shit because they are immune against blind.

My problem with the heartseeker change is that it really was the only skill the thief has (in dagger) to deal with multiple mobs. Get one down really quickly by spamming heartseeker, then deal with the other mob.

Area weakness combo field is the only true survival tool, especially in dungeons - another relatively unknown you can thank me for.
